But when I post a picture of my latest completed project, I have found that I get a very minimal response from the rest of the board. Most pictures get over 100 responses, many get much more than that, while mine have been averaging under 20. This has happened so many times that I am forced to wonder if there is some unwritten rule I am breaking that I don't know about. I wouldn't ask, except that it happens every time. It's starting to bug me a bit, even hurt my feelings a little.
I love this board, but I'm not really feeling the love in return. Please be honest, is it me?

You see a person sitting here and wondering. Did I say something out of turn. I like to add a note to some things but have to limit my time. I have loved the response if it helped my understanding the way of a pattern the colors.? I do not know how to post a picture. I do try to tell something I think is so pretty you just go AAHHH and it looks like one you would like to own. I enjoy the freedom of asking a question, offering a idea, telling someone that has asked which one. It is a wonderful group. I have never done this before and I guess I am still learning. I will learn the picture trick and show some of my quilts warts and all. Hang in there and learn along beside me. We are never alone. Hugs to you my friend.

don't be sad Woody. It will all work out in the end. Post some more and give a very good explanation of them. I think people are more interested in the explanation than the pictures.l

There is so much on the board, that I don't always comment even when I like the quilt. Part of that reason is I stay so behind on my e-mail and I know I am going to get another e-mail on other's comments. My favorite part of this board is the show and tell. I cannot remember a quilt I did not love including yours. Don't feel bad because some days I want to comment also but I know if I stop to write the comment, I won't get through all the postings.

I am relatively new to the board. I must confess that my work load the last month has left me very little time to check every topic much less respond to all. I am hoping work slows down so I can spend more time on the board. Please don't stop posting pictures though I love looking at all the pictures and am envious because I haven't finished a project in over two years.

Many of us do read and enjoy.....but have such a limited amount of time, that if we post, we do not have time to see everything that was posted. Do not feel hurt.....your posts are being read and enjoyed by HUNDREDS more than the posts you received!!
